"Congratulations Graduates of Manhattan College!" the voice boomed but was hushed out by the loud cheering and yelling of all the people.

Donatello threw his cap into the air along with his three brothers, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael, and the other students. The four quad-triplets had made sure to go to the same college to stay together not wanting to be separated. Leonardo went into studying Law, Raphael went into mechanical engineering, Donatello into Computer Science, and Michelangelo into Art History.

They were now 25 and finally were graduating.

" Booyakasha!" Mikey cheered wrapping himself around their emerald green brother Raph.

Raph grunted and pushed him off but was still smiling . " Knock it off shell for brains." he chuckled pinching the brother's freckled cheek.

The crowd of graduates began leaving as parents and family collected them. The four turtle brothers walked towards the exit to meet their adoptive parents.

Hamato Yoshi, a tall Rat, and Tang Shen, a elegant beautiful woman.

Tang Shen had tears in her eyes as she ran up to the four wrapping her arms around Mikey and Leo, the only two who were the right size for her to hold onto.

" My sons! I am so proud of you!" She sobbed as the two blue eyed turtles laughed lightly. Donnie rubbed her back gently as Yoshi walked over to them putting his hand on Raph's shoulder.

" You have done so well my sons, Miwa sent her best wishes. She had business to do in California." The rat said pulling his wife off the two turtles.

" Thank you father, Mother." they said in unison.

"Now let's go out and celebrate this occasion!" Yoshi declared.

"Alright!" The four brothers cheered.

That was all two years ago.

Now the four brothers shared an apartment together, Leo and Don in one room, Mikey and Raph in the other, and there was a spare room for guests.

Yoshi and Shen had got them the apartment and paid it off for four years until they were able to begin paying themselves, but the brothers had to pay there parents each month instead.

Donnie had found a simple job as an IT tech support during the night and worked at a computer company during the day.

Raph was a mechanic at a motorcycle shop downtown. Working mostly night shifts instead of days.

Leo was part of security for the CEO and president of a large company in the blizo buildings.

Mikey became a comic artist and worked at home a lot. He taught himself to cook and clean the apartment since he was the only one home and up during the day.

"Hey Don! I made your coffee!" Mikey chimed from the kitchen as the olive green turtle shuffled into the living room, he was still in his purple t-shirt and black boxers.

"Thanks mike, it's my day off so I won't need it though." He yawned even though his hand betrayed him and toke the cup.

Mikey snorted, "Yea right, it's Sunday, it's everyone's day off, plus you always use that excuse." He flipped the pancakes skillfully before putting them on the plates.

Donnie sat down at the breakfast table across from Leo who was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with jeans reading the newspaper.

"I take it Raphael hasn't woke yet?" Donatello asked looking over at Mikey.

Mikey shook his head, "No, he had a tough job last night and got home late, said he was missing breakfast this morning."

Donnie nodded before taking a sip of the delicious warm brew.

" Crime rates are going up again..." Leo mumbled just above hearing. Donnie looked at his older brother meeting his blue gaze.

Sighing the genius said, "That just means the vigilantes are gonna start again huh?"

Leo nodded before the phone ringing got them all distracted. Mikey dove behind from the counter, over top, grabbing the phone and the body of it before It fell.

"Hamato residence, Michelangelo speaking." He grunted out teetering on the counter as his brothers rolled there eyes.

"Mikey it's your mother." The sweet voice laughed on the other end.

"Hey Mom! What's up?"

"I need one of you or your brothers to pick up Hugo from church, our flight got moved to earlier and we can't bring him over as planned."

"Oh sure thing Mom, that's no problem."

"Oh thank goodness, he has all his stuff with him and the key is under the Mat if you need to get into our home for anything else, love you."

"Love you too Mom." Mikey said before holding the phone up.

"Love you Mom." Donnie and Leo spoke up for her to hear before Mikey ended the call.

"What did Mother need Mikey?" Leo asked folding the paper to toss it to Donnie.

Mikey rolled off the counter in a thud. Grunting he sat up putting the phone back on the small table, " One of us has to pick up Hugo from Chruch. Mom and Dad's flight got moved to earlier."

The three brothers looked at each other in silence.

" Raph's it." They said in unison.

Mikey got off the ground grabbing two of the plates of pancakes, walking over to his older brothers and setting them on the table. Mikey walked back into the kitchen to grab his plate as Donnie opened up the paper to read it.

"Gghn."

Donnie and Leo snapped their attention up to Raphael. Wearing only his black boxers with flames on the sides, he rubbed his head groaning.

"Hey Raph. I thought you weren't going to have breakfast." Mikey said picking up another plate when he saw Raph. Raph sat down with a loud thunk as his shell his the back of his chair at the table. He put his head in his arms on the table.

" Nngh. Changed mah mind." He grumbled. Mikey sat the plate down infront of Raph along with a glass of juice. " Thanks."

The four brothers sat eating breakfast till Donnie went to take a shower, Leo went to practice katas in his room, and Mikey went to clean dishes as Raph stayed at the table.

"So Raph," Mikey said not looking at his brother but knew his attention was at him, "You gotta pick up Hugo today from Church, Mom and Dad got an early flight."

Raph let out a loud groan putting his hands on his face. " Fuuuck. Ugh, What time is it?"

" 12:30. Riverside, as Always."

" Alright." Raph grunted standing up.

" Don't take the motorcycle cause Mom will kill you." Mikey warned as Raph just chuckled.

" Ah, who said she would find out little brother."

Raph walked back to his room passing Donnie who was dressed in a purple and black checkered shirt and slick black jeans.

" Whats your plans today Don?" Mikey asked drying his hands.

"I'm going over to Leatherheads, wanna come?"

Mikey nodded, " Sure, I haven't seen L.H. in forever! I got some new comics to give him anyways, stuff he can't find ya know."

Donnie laughed watching his brother run to his room to get the books. " Well don't take too long!"
